About this listen

“Utterly charming… A Proposal They Can't Refuse is a surefire winner!” —Mia Sosa, USA Today bestselling author of The Worst Best Man

Natalie Caña turns up the heat, humor and heart in this debut rom-com about a Puerto Rican chef and an Irish American whiskey distiller forced into a fake engagement by their scheming octogenarian grandfathers.

Kamilah Vega is desperate to convince her family to update their Puerto Rican restaurant and enter it into the Fall Foodie Tour. With the gentrification of their Chicago neighborhood, it's the only way to save the place. The fly in her mofongo—her blackmailing abuelo says if she wants to change anything in his restaurant, she'll have to marry the one man she can't stand: his best friend’s grandson.

Liam Kane spent a decade working to turn his family’s distillery into a contender. But just as he and his grandfather are on the verge of winning a national competition, Granda hits him with a one-two punch: he has cancer and has his heart set on seeing Liam married before it’s too late. And Granda knows just the girl…Kamilah Vega.

If they refuse, their grandfathers will sell the building that houses both their businesses. With their futures on the line, Kamilah and Liam plan to outfox the devious duo, faking an engagement until they both get what they want. But soon, they find themselves tangled up in more than either of them bargained for.

Wepa!

This book was just what I needed and I didn’t want it to end. Excellent story and narration! I really hope we get some more books with Abuelo’s meddling and to watch this family grow.

Fun story, Great Narration!

Story was great and I loved the switching back and forth between English and Spanish! I can’t wait for Natalie Caña to come out with another book!
I thoroughly enjoyed Valentina Ortiz’s narration. She did a beautiful job conveying personally and multiple accents! Best audiobook I’ve listened to in a long time!

Escúchalo o Léelo y Ámalo! Listen/read and love it

Wow! Liam and Mila are a mess of complicated, wonderful feelings. A friendship burnt out of fear and a love hidden away- how could you not be invested!?!

Family drama, conniving octogenarians, and good old fashioned blackmail cement the Vegas (and Liam) in your head and your heart. Never underestimate old men on a mission to see their families happy. By happy, I mean happily ever after!

Natalie Caña wrote a fun and entertaining story with so much character it explodes off the page. Valentina Ortiz brings it to life in an impressive performance! She was able to really bring out the differences in characters both with their tone and accents. and her Irish accent...very believable, I kept looking for Killian to pop up and pinch me...or was that just wishful thinking!

I loved the entire experience and will definitely be looking forward to more Vega drama!

This book had everything!

It is really rare that we give a full 5 stars in every category, but this book was EVERYTHING. Families, large and small. Good friends. Ex-lovers. People we loved and some we loved to hate. Fear. Love. Excitement. Pain. Confidence. Insecurities. And it was all so well-balanced that there wasn't too much of some and not enough of the other.

The whole friends-to-almost-lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers-for-real-to-enemies again-to-a resolution for every person in the book was amazing and so well done.

The narration was top notch and delivered with such perfection that the emotions, thoughts, cares, concerns and happiness of all parties was conveyed. And yes, there were some laugh-out-loud moments, too.

Just fabulous!

Delightful

This novel felt well with family relationships as well as the frequent inability people have to express their true emotions. The same for the love interests.
It was alternately funny and serious.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed this so much. Of course I love the romance but I loved the family bond and friendship. The narrator did an excellent job. This is definitely a home run.
